NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

THE TRUTH OF EVENTS 15 YEARS AGO

"Ba... how was it then.. You were able to meet the boy you were telling me about?" Deanda immediately turned to Alvero, as soon as she heard Alvero say his words in a disjointed voice.

"Why with you my Al? Don't be angry... I was just kidding. Don't take too much heart. Of course I'd rather my son be as handsome as my husband." Deanda said while gently kissing Alvero's cheek whose face was still so tense because of Deanda's previous story.

But Deanda's small kiss on his cheek, enough to make Alvero feel much calmer.

"That time, huh? Papa Alexis and I were visiting my family in this town. My family is a family of fishermen, therefore my cousin and my friends and me at that time playing hide and seek. I know I can't actually play in the mangrove forest. But since there is a wooden house that often makes me curious, I plan to hide there. But I met the boy with his eyes covered in cloth, crying and bound. Around him were criminals talking about their plans for the boy. I even heard that the criminals were planning to kill him. Really..." Deanda had not finished her words when suddenly, Alvero pulled Deanda's wrist and asked her to run away from the place in a hurry.

"Eh. my Al... Where are we going? Why rush?" Deanda came running while shouting a question to Alvero that seemed to have no intention of slowing down.

"We have to get back to the villa to see Papa Vincent! There's something important, that I want to ask him!" Alvero shouted loudly answering Deanda's question without turning his head towards his wife, with a wide smile visible on Alvero's face.

If it was true that Deanda saved me back then, Papa Vincent would have known because papa knew papa Alexis. Deanda Federer... It turns out that God sent you as my guardian angel a long time ago. If that's true of you for the rest of my life, I will repay you with all my heart and life. I will always take care of you, I will always love you until the end of my life, and make you the happiest woman as my wife.

Alvero said inwardly with a heart that was bursting with happiness and haru, which he could not express in words. Only words in his heart filled with gratitude and his declaration of love for Deanda were continuously spoken by Alvero in his heart continuously unbroken.

Along the journey they took for 10 minutes from the beach to the Enzo family villa which is not too far away, Alvero did not say a word, he said, he was busy kissing Deanda's hand that had been in her hand ever since they both ran off the beach.

Alvero continued to clasped Deanda's hand tightly without letting go of the item for a second. At times his lips and nose were busy kissing the back of Deanda's hand, and did not give Deanda a chance to ask about anything.

Because every time Deanda planned to open her mouth, questioning what had happened, which made Alvero behave strangely this afternoon, Alvero immediately stuck his index finger on Deanda's lips, shaking her head. In addition, Alvero's constant gazes at Deanda endlessly showed that Alvero was pleading this time to keep Deanda quiet until they met Vincent.

As soon as he arrived at the villa in a hurry, Alvero got out of the car without waiting for the guards to open the door for him, and ran towards the car door beside Deanda, opened it and gently but quickly pulled Deanda's hand to get out of the car.

It felt like Alvero's chest was about to explode with impatience to meet Vincent and ask him about his thoughts whether the one who saved him first was Deanda.

Without letting Deanda make any comment, half-running, Alvero led Deanda to Vincent's room. The two bodyguards standing guard in front of Vincent's room looked a little surprised at the arrival of their king and empress who looked so rushed.

"What's your majesty Vincent in?" Deanda immediately gave a sign of receiving greetings of respect for the two guards as soon as he saw Alvero who did not give the sign, instead immediately asked Vincent's whereabouts with indifference towards the two guards.

"Her Majesty Vincent has just cleaned himself up and is enjoying tea together with prince Enzo on the balcony of the room." One of the bodyguards immediately answered a question from Alvero, who opened Vincent's room door.

"Lord...!" Hearing the sound of the door being opened in a hurry, thus causing a loud enough sound, which was heard all the way to the balcony, making Vincent who was chatting with Enzo while enjoying tea and some snacks in the form of pastries immediately turned his head in shock towards the source of the sound.

But, as soon as he saw what came was Alvero and Deanda, a smile immediately fell on Vincent's lips.

"Pa..." Alvero immediately walked over to the balcony and stood right in front of his papa who was sitting next to Enzo who was slightly holding back his laughter looking at the figure of Alvero who was usually cold and calm, this afternoon seemed restless and was adjusting his breathing which looked a little hunting.

"What's wrong with you, kid? What the hell's going on? Why do you seem to be in such a hurry...."

"Pa, tell me. Do you remember my kidnapping case 15 years ago on Renhill Beach. Do you remember that time there was a little girl who saved me? Who was the little girl who saved me that day? Does Papa know who that girl is? Does Papa know him?" Hearing the questions from Alvero, Vincent scrunched his forehead slightly.

"What do you mean by your question, son?" Hearing a question back from Vincent, Alvero's face seemed stiffened, there was a sudden sense of worry crashing into his chest, as if afraid if it turned out the guess was wrong, that it was not Deanda who had been....

"Why do you ask such a thing to papa? Don't you remember that the one who saved you was Alexis' daughter? Of course the little girl is Deanda. That little girl is your wife. Papa thought you knew that from the beginning. Sometimes you even think that one of the reasons you married Deanda is because of that." Hearing Vincent's reply, Alvero raised his head to hold his tears out of the corners of his eyes.

After a long search with such great curiosity, it turns out that his savior is a woman who is so loved, who is a woman of his own, Deanda Federer. The woman who turned out for some time was always nearby without Alvero realizing.
